' My programme lady is over there now. She has got a dirty face,' remarked a three-and-a-half-year-old boy after listening to ' his ' programme. Two days before, said his mother, the radio set had been moved to another position, which explained the first part of his cryptic comment, while the solution to the second was to be sought in the story he had just heard-the story by Margaret Gore , about the rabbits, Topsy, Thomas, and Twopence, who went out on a rainy day with their mother and a big umbrella to the railway station. It was Twopence who acquired the dirty face in the course of his unexpected adventure there. This little boy and other admirers of Twopence will be able to renew his acquaintance on Wednesday when this story is repeated, and can pursue it furher on Thursday in a new tale about h;m in an equally unexpected predicament. The remainder of this week bring, two new stories, ' The Top of the Hill ' by Herbert McKay (today), and * Sandcastles ' by Ethel Heaton (tomorrow), and, on Friday, an old favourite, ' Timothy's Threepenny Bit ' by Joan E. Ca's 's,

Mrs. Dale, the doctor's wife, records the daily happenings in the life of her family
(To be repeated tomorrow at 11.0 a.m.)
Last week Mrs. Freeman had a birthday. Isabel Fielding gave her a collar with silver bells on for Captain. The constant tinkling got so much on Mrs. Freeman's nerves that she threw the collar into the bushes, hoping to lose it. Unfortunately Isabel found it and said she was going to get a silver lock so Captain could not lose it again. Gwen went to Wales with David. When they arrived Mr. Fulton was already there. He told Gwen that Jenny, David's sister, resented her. When Gwen did meet Jenny she was very hostile towards Gwen. Gwen and Mr. Fulton had a row and Mr. Fulton decided to go back to London. Gwen and David became unofficially engaged and Gwen telephoned to tell Dr. and Mrs. Dale. Mrs. Owen gave Gwen a ring that she said was a family heirloom.
